Scholes has stated that Marcus Rashford should be excluded from the team's dressing room.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has criticised Marcus Rashford's behaviour, suggesting the forward has "let a lot of people down" and should be removed from the team's dressing room.

Rashford has been conspicuously absent from United's last 11 matches across all competitions, with manager Ruben Amorim consistently excluding him from the squad.

Amorim's explanation for Rashford's absence centres around concerns about the player's training regime and overall attitude.

What Scholes said

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, Scholes said that Rashford has let the people down with his attitude, stressing that he should be banished from the team.

The former United legend drew on his own experience with Sir Alex Ferguson to illustrate his point.

He said, "I think Marcus has let a lot of people down really, with his attitude, and I think that's what the manager is trying to say. You think of the young players coming through the team, think of (Alejandro) Garnacho, they're looking up to people like Marcus now – he's 27 years of age, and he's clearly not training properly."

He continued, "I remember years ago when I told the manager (Alex Ferguson) I didn't want to play in that Arsenal game... he said to me 'the worst thing you did is let your team-mates down', and that really stuck with me because I wasn't really thinking about that - and now I think Marcus Rashford, he's doing exactly the same. OK, he's not refusing to play, but in the way he's behaving and the way he's training, in a way he is saying I don't want to be involved with these."

"So I think the fact of letting your team-mates down in that dressing room - he should be banished from the dressing room really. If he's in and around that and young people are seeing that as an example, the sooner he's gone the better," he added.

Rashford's last appearance for the team was December 15th, in the Manchester derby.
